faking shadows from sunlight

[patrickcolvill Profile]

Is there any way in which a photo can be made to have false shadows? My requirement is to merge two photos and then place shadows onto objects to create the illusion of shadows being cast by the sun

Hi Patrick,

There are two different drop shadow effects available in SPE, one created by myself and another by AndrewB.

I think you need to use the one I created in your case, since AndrewBs drop shadows cut-out the subject and gives it a shadow, but they are also amazing to use so definitely worth a try out!

Here you will find all information on how to use and names.
AdrewsB Drop Shadow Effects
My (Arwins) Drop Shadow Effects
(and my cut-out Neon effects (like AndrewB cut-out Drop Shadows)

Hope this will bring you further!
Succes, Arwin
